in the day
light cords hung
from ceilings
wrapped in asbestos cord
a light fixture screwed
into its end
light cords hung
from ceilings
wrapped in asbestos cord
a light fixture screwed
into its end
a push button
on the wall
off and on
eager little fingers
a cord without a bulb
curiosity their demise
enter into the socket
receive unanticipated shock
retract with
lightning speed
eager little fingers
decide lessons learned
now
cautious little fingers
seek new adventure
avoiding open sockets
without lights
